Texture mapping in Java 2D!

[plank]

Hey Everyone.. I am new to java and trying to experiment with the graphics side of java.

I currently have a 3D cube which I can spin around.. what I am trying ot do now is to map a photo to the sides of the cube..
am totally lost! Can anyone give me a pointer on how to start??

Help would be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

AJB

Doesn't the Java3D require a seperate runtime to be installed on each client to work? Or have I got it wrong? I need to be
able to do this with just standard JRE, which is why am trying to do everything manually.

Thanks!

The JRE doesn't contain any methods for texture mapping, only image
blitting. If you can't use OpenGL (JOGL or LWJGL), you need to
implement it yourself. Implementing fast perspective correct texture
mapping is not an easy task though. Search Google for some example
code.

This a very vague question, answers might range from..
- "Start at the beginning"
- "Open an IDE"
- "Visit the tutorils at Sun"

OTOH, you might look at the AffineTransform class.

Which is used in the source of Transform.java, on the bottom of this page..
